    They assist with resource navigation and referrals, including food, clothing, transportation, menstrual care, housing goods, pet supports, and community services.

    Community Advocates may also support family visitations, ARCH Pass approvals, peer support, HEART activities, and the coordination of Birthday, Post-Partum, and Holiday Hampers. Volunteers may facilitate peer support groups, lead our Monthly Tea, and help create welcoming opportunities for connection and community building.
